against the perpetrators. His fuucral was attended, yesterday afternoon, we learn from a dispatch received at this office at a late hour last night, by the entire community, "who appeared to feel the loss of the good man." The Coroner's jury, yesterday afternoon, found a verdict charging Willis McMinimy with the murder. The evideuce was circumstantial but very strong. McMiniuiy was last night in the hands' of Marshal Akers, df this city. The greatest excitement prevails at Gosport and in the surrounding country, and we should not be surprised to hear of summary vengeance having been visited upon McMinimy before this time. The supposed murderer is a citizen of Gosport. This confirms the theory springing from the circumstances of the murder which

committed just before

the time. Mr. Johns was. iu the habit of sending remittances' of money to' the railroad officers "here, thus showing it must have becu done by some one conversant with alLhis movements. As we stated yesterday, Mr. Jolms ^ent a message to this city at fifteen miuutcs past,.ten. It turns out that he was struct while'sitting at the table upon which wad the telegraph instrument, probably before lie had risen after sending the dispatch, lie was sitting with his back to the door from which he was approached by the murderer. The first blow was evideutly giyen' upon tho back of the heal. lie was then struck upon both the right and left temple and upon the forehead. The skull was fractured by each blow. The work of robbing the desks of the office was probably very quickly done, as the robber or robbers did not wait oven to search Mr. Johns' body for money. Upon going out the murderer l-jcked the door behind him and threw thq key .upon the railroad track, where it was fouifd the next morning. From,the blood upon, the .v.hi!s, it is plain that "he partly raised himself up from the floor upon which he fell, and crawled along to the door which he found lo'.-kcd, and then across the* room to a point opposite the window, so he could be seen.—New Albany Commera

our citizens who were up as late as twelve o'clock Wednesday night had an oppor-f tanity of witnessing a rare phenenomenai in the northwest heavens at that hour.' It consisted of a single column of flame, about one hundred feet in hight, which appeared to shoot up perpendicularly from a blood red base causing a beautiful illumination of all that part of the heavens during its duration, which extended to some twenty minutes. Those who witnessed'the display say it exceeded anything"of the- kind they had ever before gcen, and that itu brilliancy and form had no likeness to that of the ordinary aurora. r-JW.rc.

of this 'crop with the best results. The 1

earthing up of the hills sluiuid bo done

1 rr 1

crop will be smaller and less- sizable, than if earthed but ouce. Other things, though not essential, arc relatively important. One is. that the seed potato should not bo eui. Opinions we aru aware,' differ on this point but experience and careful observation' have convinced' us, that plaiits from cuttings do not. as a general thing, grow as vigorously. arc not as healthy', not us able to resist the potato disease, as those from whole potatoes. One tuber in a hill of medium size—a little smaller or a trifle larger, say from the size of a pullet's egg to that of a full grown hen—-is the best' seeding. One in a hill is bettor than more, and those of medium size are aboiit aS good as very large oues for "planting, while the latter are worth more for the table. If we were to cut'a seed potato, in any ease, it should be simply to pare off a little of tho seed eUd, that the shoots might be fewer and stockier ingrowth —not trailing vines,' but erect, 'ree-likc with strong lateral branches.

Another' item is, the plrintVng in-hills. Jl'iplantcd in drills, they shade «floh othdr too much, especially

:if

Marly planting is another thing worth considering so long lis the potato disoase continues Before its appearance, we had grown famous cj-ops, planted as late an tnc nrst or .l uiy:

ill

planting, .though not in all seasons a preventive, is safer than, late. Potatoes, if plautcd the last of April or early in May are less liable to tho bright than if pl^it•d later.

Another consideration is, that nitrogenous manures, as Peruvian guano, gtroug stable manures, and others of a stimulating character, are uot as well suited to. this crop, so long as there is danger of the blight, a* jouie others. It way be good economy for, the iparlfet gardener to apply highly .stimulating manures to potatoes, his object being to put them early iuto market, while tin) price is sti'! high but the farmer, especially if distant from market, should, bo conteutcd with a slower growth aud a laters maturity, more auxious for a sound crop tlipu for an early one.

Mineral manures are best adapted to his object. New potash, soda, lime, sulphuric acid and, chlorine, are special retirements of the potato plant. Virgin toils, if of .anything like a lair, medium quality,, contain all these, in sufficient quantity for one potato crop, aud iu most soils for many. But iu soilsithat havo been long cultivated with little or no mauure, they are not always found aud .if there is a deficiency iu those, the po.tatq crop, is uot likely to succc^d as well as from .the general character of, the land^ one might expect. .Our.object in.penning, this artiele.is, partly, to recoWmcrid a' special compostj fbr tho potato, one which experience has proved to be good—good enough to cri-1 sure Iroin 'soils' of but medium qiiaiquality, not in,high condition,,and ^i^liout other inauure, fair to large crops of sound tubers, (say from 100 to 20ft bush-: els' acre),"of a quality hard to bt-'it.

It consists of ingrejieuts that are cheap, easy to find, aud adapted,! to sup-! ply the uecossitio3 of-the potato crop, il. perchaticfc, tliey aro not already in the

soil'. The coinpost \yq recommend,. Li—teii bushels af Hiileachcd wood asheij four of lime, freshly alar Iced, (oyster shell is best, or if you cannot easily obtain it, substitute in its place from twice or three times the quantity of leached ashes, which toll do about as well) two bushels oi.-platter and one bushel of.-common' salt,• to- bo mixed as Evenly.: as may 'be, for one acre, and applied in the bill. This mixture, we believe will, disappoint no one who will tryiit. Wo havo tried it often, and it has, in CVery case,' mote tliab atiswertd

Street''Com.It is a surprising farit'thiit sweot ci/rn is not abundantly grown among farmers. Every farmer thinks ho must raise his five or ten aerosol* Indian cOrri every year, in order to have something to fatten. his pork and to furnish fodder for his stock, &c. Now, if every farmer would grow three or five acres of street corn, bis crop would prove: of much more value in proportion to the number of acres than .1 Indian corn for feeding purposes. ,• »a

Last spring' I planted six'acres or sweet corn for the purpose of taking it into market, green. But, after the market bepawe' •.'•glutted," I, concluded :to save the balance of my corn and cure-it to feed. I cut and fed to my bogs corn (in the stalks) every da^, and tlicy would eat stalks anil all as' clean as tlicy would green clover. Thro' the mouth of October and until the last of November,,. I fod husked eocu.- I can say I never kill-cd-tso fat'pork boforei iTliey seomcdito be completely filled up with lurd. I prefer the sweet eorti stalks to anything else iu the sliripe'of fodder for stock, and especially 'for'cows giving milk there is [nothing equal to it.' The &talk, husks, nnJ? ieaves, are much more juicy aud.^weetofc .than any other corn fodder. I. would recommend tlioso that sowi coru for 'fodder, to sow the sweet corn io preference to any other. »-*e*
